Scientists assess future landslide risk in AVÀÇÂÛ̳’s national parks

The Pretty Rocks landslide, spurred by greater warmth and rainfall, will force Denali National Park's main access road to close at the halfway point in 2023 for the second full summer. To help park managers plan for and mitigate such events, University of AVÀÇÂÛ̳ Fairbanks scientists assessed future landslide risks along road corridors in Denali and other AVÀÇÂÛ̳ parks.
